iPhone is considered one of the best Apple devices, but even such high-tech gadgets can sometimes malfunction: freeze, turn off, overheat, or not respond to commands.
In such situations, users are usually divided into four groups:
- Ignoring the problem until the last moment, until the device completely fails.
- Panicking and heading to the first service center they come across in search of a quick and cheap repair.
- Searching for solutions on the internet, trying to fix the problem yourself.
- Contacting verified service centers.
The last group, unfortunately, is the least common. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you do not try to repair the device yourself and contact the service center RudService, where you will be offered free diagnostics, even if you do not plan to repair the device.
Below are the most common problems and iPhone malfunctions, the reasons for their occurrence and ways to eliminate them.
1. iPhone won't charge
This problem occurs not only on iPhones, but also on other smartphones. Possible causes and solutions:
- The charging cable is faulty. Cables often break, even new ones can be faulty. Try replacing the cable.
- The charging unit is faulty. Due to voltage fluctuations, the unit may fail. Try replacing it.
- Using uncertified cable. Make sure the cable is MFI certified.
- Dirt in the charging connector. Clean the connector carefully using a cotton swab or tweezers.
- The charging connector is damaged. This can happen when using a low-quality charger or when dropped. The connector will need to be replaced.
- Synchronization controller failure. If the iPhone itself decides which charger to charge from, reboots, and the board needs to be replaced.
- The lower charging cable is out of order. The part will need to be replaced.
